Overview

Ronchini Gallery is proud to present the first UK solo exhibition of accomplished international artist, Jacob Hashimoto.

For this exhibition Hashimoto will build a new site-specific installation compromised of hundreds of small bamboo and paper kite elements.

Hashimoto’s work creates a sculptural environment conveying a sense of wonder and playfulness.
